After a four-year hiatus, elite bodybuilders Chris Bumstead and Ryan Terry joined forces once again for a workout session that was more about laughs than lunges. Despite nearly half a decade passing since their last collaboration, these two icons have remained at the top of their game, both reigning champions in the fiercely competitive Mr. Olympia competition within their respective divisions.
Chris Bumstead couldn’t contain his excitement as he took to Instagram to give fans a sneak peek into their friendly reunion. According to his Instagram story post accompanied by a snapshot with a simple yet humorous caption, “Couple Mr. O’s pretending we actually workout,” it’s clear that their bond extends beyond the gym floor.

CBum posted a video on his YouTube channel on October 14, 2019, with a title that read, “Chest and Arm Day with Ryan Terry, catching up one-day post-Olympia.” During their entire session, they did a few exercises and delved into conversation, talking more about food and other topics.
